Her teachers in Chinese linguistics included: Professors Edwin G. Pulleyblank (University of British Columbia), Jerry Norman and Anne Yue-Hashimoto (University of Washington), and faculty members teaching at the Linguistic Society of America Summer Linguistic Institute held one summer at the University of Hawaii, namely, Professors William S-Y. Wang, Ying-che Li, Robert Cheng, and Fang-kuei Li.

Her research background is Japanese linguistics, with core research interests in Japanese syntax, and extending to pedagogical research since joining the Language Pedagogy component in the Department.

Professor Kim's Ph.D. was from the Department of Linguistics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and her research interests are Korean language pedagogy and second language acquisition, with psycholinguistics an integral part of her research background.

Two of the fundamental questions addressed are brain plasticity and linguistic experience; that is, to what extent the human brain is plastic in language development, and how experience with a first language influences the acquisition of a second language.

Linguistic and philological literature on the subject of the diminutive is copious to say the least, focusing on a variety of issues ranging from its phonological properties to its etymology.

Readers interested in the linguistic history of Hong Kong, particularly in its education system, are referred to the Bickley and Sweeting publications for their extensive archival references.

Linguistic descriptions and analyses of Cantonese are excluded on the same basis as are those on the English language - a lack of social and educational relevance, and the fact that the literature is overwhelming.

During the past couple of decades, the Chinese linguistics faculty members in DEALL have produced over twenty doctoral students, many of whom are strategically placed in major universities in the United States, as well as in China, Taiwan, Singapore, and Korea.

The main focus of Chinese linguistics in DEALL today is the synchronic study of linguistic structures of both spoken and written Chinese, in the context of Chinaâs history and culture.

Course offerings in Chinese linguistics in DEALL cover both undergraduate and graduate levels, with topics ranging from introductory concepts about the structure of the Chinese language to more advanced, theoretical issues in Chinese linguistics that are covered in graduate seminars.

Yue Yang is honored for his advanced experimental work in electrophysiology which will be submitted for first-author publication by the end of this year.

Yue joined Professor Merritt Maduke’s laboratory in Molecular and Cellular Physiology in January 2002 and worked on several projects targeting cellular channel selection as the lead and sole experimentalist.

Yue was the first undergraduate to present his work at a Departmental Retreat.

Linguistics can often supply facts which help people arrive at a recommendation or value judgement, but the recommendation or value judgement is not part of linguistic science itself.

Recently linguists such as Joseph Greenberg and Vitalij Shevoroshkin have attracted attention both in linguistic circles and in the popular press with claims of larger genetic units, such as Nostratic (comprising Indo-European, Uralic, Altaic, Dravidian, and Afroasiatic) or Amerind (to include all the languages of the New World except Na-Dene and Eskimo-Aleut).

When linguists say that languages are related, they're not just remarking on their surface similarity; they're making a technical statement or claim about their history-- namely, that they can be regularly derived from a common parent language.

Dear linguists, I am interested in attaining a TESOL certificate (or any other such pedagogical qualifications offered in the U.S.) within the next year, but have had trouble finding courses offered this summer in my area (Oregon-- Portland, Salem and Newport).

Chinese subfamily of the Sino-Tibetan family of languages (see Sino-Tibetan languages), which is also sometimes grouped with the Tai, or Thai, languages in a Sinitic subfamily of the Sino-Tibetan language stock.

Chinese comprises a number of variants; those that are mutually unintelligible are considered separate languages by some linguists but are classed among the many dialects of Chinese by others.

The most widespread form of Chinese is Mandarin, which may be regarded as modern standard Chinese.

The purpose of the association is to facilitate communication amongst teachers and scholars of Cantonese and to promote study and research in the fields of Cantonese language pedagogy, linguistics and culture, and to further the common interests of teachers and scholars of both Standard Cantonese and other Yue dialects.

Zhang demystifies the puzzle of why Shen Yue violated his own metrical theory and presents the true essence of Shen’s theory of metrical patterns.

Thus Zhang concludes that understanding of tonal expressions in the Six Dynasties will demonstrate the relationship between linguistics and poetry, and furthermore, show that the invention of tonal metrical patterns was a response to the linguistic changes after the Pre-Qin period.

Based on the case study of Shen Yue's poems, this paper centers around the poetic metrical patterns of the Six Dynasties from the perspective of linguistic study.
